CONTENTS

Hell, in simplistic terms, is the opposite of heaven. It is an eternal separation from God occurring after death. Some Christians believe this is a place of eternal torment, whereas others believe that it is an end of existence.

Biblical passages

Hell is kewl. Satan is my homie. yeah. He was also Jesus' fuckbuddy. Did you know that? Jesus was gay. And Jewish. With Satan.

Eternal Punishment versus Annihiliationism

Many Christians believe hell to be a place of eternal punishment for those who have died without accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and receiving forgiveness of sins.

Some Christians believe in the existence of hell, but deny the idea of a continuous eternal conscious suffering. In this view, known as Annihilationism, those who have died without accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and receiving forgiveness of sins cease to exist. This view is sometimes argued as inconsistent with Scripture, however, if the Biblical descriptions of hell are seen as imagery, then an annihilationist view can be argued as Biblical.
